Mathematical and Design Aspects of Sliding Mode Control Theory

Guest Speaker-----Dr. Vadim Utkin
Professor of Electrical Engineering
The Ohio State University

Prof. Utkin is one of the originators of the concepts of Variable Structure Systems and Sliding Mode Control. In 1975-1978 he was in charge of an international project between his Institute and "Energoinvest", Sarajevo on the sliding mode control of induction motors. D.C., induction and synchronous drives with sliding mode control have been applied for metal-cutting machine tools, process control and electric cars. Prof. Utkin is an author and co-author of 5 books and 300 papers.
